Creating a Casita
Small homes, big possibilities.
Casitas—also known as Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)—are now allowed on residential properties throughout Albuquerque.
Why Casitas?
- Great for multigenerational families, caregivers, or renters
- Adds gentle density in existing neighborhoods
- Helps homeowners generate rental income
- Makes use of land and infrastructure we already have
